Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. FRIDAY. FERRl'ARV 1. li>24 NUMBER 85 PUS MODIFIED BY DIRECTORATE — Week-end Committees Are; Proceeding With Work Following Campus Vote! MAIN EVENTS ARE KEPT High School Guests Will be Rigidly Excluded; Name Change Considered T V 1 Now that the student-body has expressed itself as favoring a Junior Week-end without guests, and the student council has upheld that opinion, the Junior Week-end committee is getting to work again to make the event as effective as possible. The committees delayed their work for a week or two while awaiting the decision of the coun cil. “The present plan,” says Ed Tapfer, general chairman, “is to keep the events of the vod-vil, the canoe fete and the junior prom. There will be no high school track meet, and in all probability no campus luncheon. The Junior Week end committee will co-operate in seeing that no guests are wished on the houses. The elimination of the high school athletic meet will be an aid in this line, as it drew a large number of preppers last year.” Opinions Are Desired “The campus luncheon has been regarded by many as an unneces- i sary evil and if there are no guests ■ it will have even less excuse for existing,” says Tapfer. “If the stu dents have other opinions on the subject, the committee will appre ciate their comments.” The publicity committee will start at onfe to publish the action of the student body' throughout the state, so that the houses may meet < no embarrassment in writing to i their guests and telling them that • the old plan has been abolished. < The directorate is seriously con sidering the proposition of chang- : ing the name of Junior Week-end , in order to make the new plan a i distinctive affair and to obviate any hard feeling on the part of the high school students in the state. No decision has been reached on this plan. The committee declares ; itself ready to put over as good , a Junior Week-end as Oregon has , ever had, for the enjoyment of the i student body. i Prom Plans Secret There will be enough perform ances of the vod-vil so that every one can see it. For the canoe fete sufficient bleachers will be placed along the race to take care of the entire crowd. The prom committees are meeting at short intervals and report that clever ideas have been adopted, though their nature is be ing held secret. The program, dec oration, feature, floor, refresh ments and patron committees are working at the present time. The canoe fete will be conducted on the same plan as before, men’s (Continued on page three) Frolicking Frosh Hopeful Hosts at Glad Glee Tonighl Tonight we will hear the shriek of the green cappers. Tonight we will gleefully gambol down to the green gafuzzle and glide glibbly over the gay boards. The order of the Green has promised to have the maple spot less and decked out in a new coat of hair tonic and resin. Dec orations for the big palace of scamper will be in place by the time the all-University hop-Scotcli swings into action. The decora tions are secret, so we can ’t tell you about ’em, because we don’t know ourselves. But we might let you in on some of it at that. They’re go ing to be \yhat you think they ain’t. Yes, it’s going to be a gay brawl, the best the green will sling this year. It ’ll be well worth the price of admission, even if you have to haul her there in a taxi. We’re in the temperate zone, but still you can get dates, so if you haven’t done so, rattle the receiver and ring her up for the glide given by the green tonight. LOANED TO MUSEUM Exhibition Will Continue Until February 8 Two European antique chairs have >een loaned by Mrs. B. L. Bogart, )f Eugene, to the exhibition of arts tnd crafts in the little .museum in lie arts building. The textiles, vhich come from the Portland Arts ind crafts sopiety, have been on dis day during the past week, and now he chairs may be seen with them. The small chair, which Mrs. Bogart Drought with her from Italy, is of valnut, upholstered in gorgeous red Venetian brocade. It was obtained in her last' year’s trip abroad. It s an antique, possibly of the last of lie sixteenth or the first of the sev nteentli century period. The larger chair is French design, nade by Lionel C. Algoran, a friend if Mrs. Bogart’s. The upholstering, lone in petit point of quaint birds n browns, greens, and soft blues, vith touches of red and yellow, was unbroidered by Mrs. Bogart herself. The entire exhibit will last until February 8. The paintings by Emil lacques, Belgian painter, will be on lisplay in the museum until Febru iry 3, when a collection of wood dock prints will arrive to be hung. Die paintings will then be sent on to Portland. HEATING PLANT STILL USING SLAB WOOD Due to the lack of a part of the notor, the University heating plant s still using slab wood, instead of ;he hog fuel, which they intend to lse la'er. The machinery is ex aected soon, and according to H. M. fisher, superintendent of buildings md grounds, can be installed with in the space of two or three hours, rwo of the three boilers have been in use since Christmas, and the third will be ready soon. Education Urgent Necessity in China, Says C. K. Edmunds By Marian Lowry “No more efficient effort can be made to create a spirit of friend ship,' and of closer co-operation be tween the United States and China, than the preparation of an adequate and capable corps of teachers by America for the Chinese schools.” It was Dr. Charles K. Edmunds, president of Caston Christian col lege. China, speaking. Eo is on the campus until Saturday night, j with the purpose of meeting pro- [ speetive candidates for positions as teachers in the Canton institution. J “The desire of the Chinese peo- I pie for education, can not be mea sured. It is extreme. They are j flocking to the schools in greater | numbers than can be taken care of,” he said. Dr. Edmunds has been connected ! 4 with the Canton college since it was founded in 1903. From 1903 to 1907 he acted as professor of physics, and since 1907 he has been president of the institution. “There are unlimited opportuni ties in China for teachers,” Dr. Ed munds said. “Canton Christian col lege offers an unusual chance, in that the medium of the institution is English. Instructors there teach in English, but they are expected in time to learn the native language. “Our campus consists of 200 acres. It is located on an island not far from Canton, which is the second largest non-Christian city in the world, and the largest in China. “There are 1,000 pupils in the institution, all of whom live in (Continued on page three) STAGE ALL SET FIS FROSH GLEE Big Social Affair of Year Will be Staged at 8:30 This Evening Down Town MOTIF IS KEPT SECRET Decorations and Programs to be New and Original, Those in Charge Promise ' The Frosh glee, biggest and most important event for the entire stu ’dent body during the winter term, will be held tonight, beginning at S:30 in the armory. Members of every class in the University will be guests of the freshmen class. Preparations for tonight’s dance, under the management of Bob Love, ‘have been actively under way for the three weeks past. Although the na ture of the decorations has been kept secret by the committee, the general motif is said to be appropriate for occasion. Carpenters, architects, and painters have been called into service to make the hall into a new place. The features and programs will be original and novel. Music to be Better “The programs will be in a unique shape which will make them valuable momentos of an enjoyable evening,” says Chairman Love, “and the spe cial placing of the orchestra prom ises to give greater volume to the music than usual.” The Mid Night Sons will furnish the music. The. checkroom facilities at the armory have been increased in order to adequately hande the large crowd that is expected to attend, and there will be punch, of the right kind to mitigate the thirst of the dancers. Committee is Listed Freshmen men are supposed to take only freshmen women to the glee, according to tradition, says Dean John Straub, although freshmen wo men may go with upperclassmen if they choose. The committee chairmen under Bob Love have spent much time, ef fort, talent, and money in order to insure the glee being a success. They are: decorations, James Forestel; features, Carmalita Hadley; pro grams, Morton Coke; patrons and pa tronesses, Holt Slaughter; music, Billy O’Bryant; and refreshments, Frances Strange. DEAN WRITES ARTICLE Discussion of Motion Pictures in Demand by Libraries “Several eastern libraries have. sent requests to the University ex- j tension division for an article which j recently appeared in the visual in- ( struction number of the extension Monitor, written by Earl Kilpat- j rick, dean of extension division,” i said Alfred Powers, who is con-' neeted with that department. The article, which is titled “Mo tion Pictures in Education,” is an j original discusson of motion pic- j tures by Mr. Kilpatrick, and was j used to some extent by him in the 1 Portland summer session of the University as well as over the radio before being printed in the Moni tor, Mr. Powers said. FIRST TEAM WINS GAME Easy Victory Gained in Women’s Class Basketball Series In the women’s class basketball game played Wednesday night, the first freshman team beat the third freshman team with a score of 38 to 18. Ragged playing and a lack of teamwork were noticable throughout the game, due to the fact that the members of the teams are not yet used to playing to gether. Both teams failed to complete passes, largely through the slow work of the centers. The third team guards, Ruth Crofton and Francis Dodds, did good work in holding down the opposing players. Vesta Scholl and Genevieve Spears, forwards for the first team, played the best game for the winners. j Dark, Very Dark; the Door Locked a Deserted Maid The Friend in Need is a F riend Indeed Tt was dark, very dark, for it was tiie hour after dinner time. The doors were locked; the windows were too high for a maid to jump out unassisted; the campus was deserted. She was an Emerald reporter; she must hurry; but there she was—locked fast within the palatial walls of the old journ alism shack. The time dragged on. Again and again she tried the door, but it remained locked and resisted all efforts. Again and again her de sire to dare almost overcame her as she approached the window pre paratory to jumping. Each time she hesitated. And then—well, miracles always happen in such cases. Three of her scribe friends approached, and when they heard her call, one grabbed her books, and the other two helped her descend from the window. It happened that the night watchman, like most campus per sons, unable to keep track of Em erald reporters, locked the place up. IS Students Urged to Keep Pace With Progress Educational vision was the plea of Dr. A. E. Winsliip in his assembly (address yesterday. He impressed up on his audience the value of far sightedness in educational projects, emphasizing the necessity of keeping up with the progressive views and ideas of this day. In that lino Dr. Winship, editor of the .Tournal of Education and prominent in that field, pointed out that the plan of education had pro gressed from public education to de mocracy in education, thata is, mak ing it possible for a greater number of persons than ever before. This plan is progressing, because within the last eight years attendance all over the United States in high schools has doubled. “We are living in a time when it is better to know the world and where it is going than where it came from,” he said, showing the value of keeping up with the progress of the world. To illustrate his point he drew parallel cases between the pro gress that education must make and the progress that has been made in Various lines of industry. The s’ik industry shows this in the new pro cess of making silk from wood, dis pensing with the silk worms. The coal industry shows the same bene fits of the progressive idea. From the great waste that there used to be in gases and pitch in making coke in the old-fashioned wav have been made by-products worth more than the coke itself. “I want to empha size that we have to learn in c loca tion, as elsewhere,” summarized Dr. Winship, “that you will find, where you least expect it, this power, these benefits to mankind.” A place where education could bring out such benefits, pointed out Dr. Winship, is in the case of the eight million boys and girls in the country who would be benefitted by the program carried on by the beys and girls clubs throughout the states, As it stands seven hundred thousand boys and girls receive this training and produce products valued at $8,000,000. Tf the rest were edu cated along the same line, he said, the result would be astounding. Tn concluding, Dr. Winship urged that all students realize that they must keep pace with progress and that back of tlicir studies was their chief business to do something for God and humanity. MEN ASKED TO REPORT AT JOURNALISM SHACK Following men will please report to the editor of the Emerald in the office, old journalism “shack,” at five o’clock this evening: Jim Case, Lowell Baker, Parker Bran in, Floyd Greeley, Robert Mc Cormack, Fred Michel, Ed. Miller and Lester Talbot. Game to be First Real Test For Varsity Basketeers; Washington Determined VISITORS RATED STRONG Oregon to Have Chance at Trying Quick Pass Work on Veteran Hoop Team The first real test for the varsity basketball team comes Monday evening when the Webfooters tackle the league leading Hu'skie five from Washington. A good idea of how the local quintet will stack in the conference race may be gleaned from the game Monday. Washington is the first real team the varsity goes up against. While the pre-season games have not been setups, they have proved easy I for the Webfooters and have re j suited in lop-sided scores. Huskies are Powerful Tlie Huskies are invading Oregon with the intention of returning to the Seattle encampment with their belts loaded with scalps. They have a powerful team with a num ber of veterans. Frayne and Hesketh make up the forward com bination. Both have been in ac tion before against the varsity and know the game. Anderson, Welts, Gardner and Fronde are not new at the court game. They helped defeat the Aggies at Seattle last week. In going against the Huskies, Oregon will have a chance to find out i how the quick pass system works against an A1 team. So far the varsity five has had little trouble working the ball down the floor into the enemy’s territory and registering points. Oregon Lineup Strong Likewise the defensive play of the Webfooters will receive its first real baptism. Very few of the opposition have been able to pene trate the five-man defense per fected by Reinhart, and have had to be content with long shots, very few of which were good. The big six will undoubtedly bear the brunt of the coming tiff. Hobson, Gowans, Latham, Shafer and Chapman have been working well together and King fits right in when he is sent in for relief duty, dost is improving daily and may get a chance at the northern squad Monday. After the Washington game comes the Aggie series, and Ore gon ’s chances against the Corvallis hoopers can be judged somewhat by ; the showing made against the | Huskies. HANDBALL GAMES WON Bachelordon in Line For Trophy ; Phi Delt Wins Its Games Having won the final game in its league, the Bachelordon hand ball aggregation now remains un defeated, and in direct line for the trophy. Yesterday at 4 p. m. the Bachelordon pair wore easily vic ; torious over the Delta Tau Delta ! combination by a score of 21-2, j 21-15. With little difficulty, the Bachelordon pair, Patterson and Garner, defeated the Delta, repre sented by Heerlt and Boyd. In the second game of the after noon, the Phi Delta Theta handball squad defeated the Kappa Delta If hi aggregation by a very close ' margin. The score of the contest was 23-21, 21-19. As both teams played an aggresseve game and at a fast pace, it was difficult to judge the winner, until the last point had been scored. Playing on tho winning team were Staley and Powers, while the Kappa Delta Phi | combination was -made up by Rob j inson and Brooks. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENTS Phi Sigma Pi announces the pledging of Lloyd Franks of Oakes dale, Washington. Chi Psi announces the pledging of Donald Gidley of Marshfield, Ore gon. Winter’s Cold Is No Deterrent to Women Plungers Swimming in the race at this time of the year is generally a matter of compulsion and one is I usually propelled into the icy waters by too willing hands. But tlirce girls claim the honor of bc , ing the first to go swimming in I tho mill race this year of their own accord. But a greater won der than that is that they really ! enjoyed the icy plunge. “It was marvelous,” said one ' of the trio. “It surely made me feel good.” The other two were j equally loud in their praise of i winter swimming. It was real winter swimming, too, because they went in yesterday afternoon j when tho sun was A. W. O. L. The names of the girls are ! withheld, but if anyone wishes j to contest their claim to honor, j one of them is a junior, tall and well known around the journalism i shack. The other two aro fresh J men. Besides, one can probably | tell who the girls are by picking j out the three girls with tho worst [ colds ou the campus. MATERIALS CLASSES Laboratories Will Replace Old Steam Plant ‘‘The brick chimney of the old steam plant is .just about torn down, and before long now the classes in strength of materials will have a new laboratory,” said Professor E. H. McAJister, head of department of materials and as tronomy. “ We expect to be in stalled in our new laboratory somo time after the first of March,” lie said. The work in tearing down the old chimney has progressed slowly. The bricks were pried up one by one by workmen using a crow-bar, and then dropped through tho four foot square hole in the chimney to the ground below, rather than out side, to prevent them from falling on people passing by. The two old boilers in the plant have been taken out and soon tho installing of radiators, the concrete floor, and partitions wild begin. The 1,600 square feet of floor space to be used by Mr. McAlister’s ma terials class is to be partitioned off into three rooms of about the same si/.e. This means that each room will have a little more than 500 square feet of floor space. One of the rooms is to be used for testing cement and concrete, '[’here will be an arrangement for preparing concrete and other ma terials in a second room. In tho ■ third room a large testing machine is to be installed. This machine will be capable of exerting a pres sure of 200,000 pounds. Electric motors will be used to operate all machinery in the laboratory. MRS. R. D. CASEY RETURNS HOME AFTER OPERATION Mrs. Ralph D. Casey, the wife of Professor Casey of the school of journalism, has returned from Mercy hospital to her home, 1206 Mill street, where sho is con valescing after an appendicitis op eration VARSITY TIKES MEET 30 TO 20 Frosh Are Close Contenders in Swimming Contests Held in Women’s Tank LOMBARD IS HIGH MAN Times Are Rather Slow; Breaststroke Has But One Entry; Dives Pretty In a regular Frank Merriwell finish, the varsity morraen took the green cappers into camp by a final score of 30 to 29 last night in the Woman’s building tank. The med ley relay, consisting of six laps, decided the meet, and at the finish, a scant yard separated Palmer, for the varsity, and Lombard, for the frosh. Lombard was the high point man of the meet with a total of 15 points, taking first in the 40 yard backstroke, 80-yard dash and the 200-yard dash. The times in last night’s races were rather slow, but on the whole, the races were close and more than once brought the crowd to its feet. The varsity jumped into the lead in the first event, the 40-yard dash, Palmer and McCabe taking first and second, with Stone, of the frosh, third. The time was 23 sec onds. The babes ovoned the score a few minutes later by taking first and second in the backstroke, Lombard and Stone being the frosh entrants. Yoran, of the varsity, took third. The wiuning time in this event was 46:1. Diving is Pretty Since the frosh hud no entry in the 200-yard hroaststroko, A1 Sin clair swam an exhibition, doing the 10 laps in 1:26.1. The youngsters pulled into the lead in the fourth event, when Lombard won the S0 yard dash in 51:2. Palmer took second and Bonbright, of the frosh, took third. In tho dives, a pretty contest between Stone and Horsfall ended in a victory for Stone, Mc Cabe, varsity, taking third. Lombard took his third victory of the evening when lie copped the 200-yard free stylo in 2:.'i2.1. Hors fall took second and Alderman third. Ileidor and Alderman tied at 57 feet for the plunge, but first place went to tho varsity man be cause his time was .45 seconds while Alderman took 59 seconds. Wiswall. varsity, took third with 52 feet 6 inches. The varsity relay team, com posed of McCabe, Yoran, Horsfall and Palmer, took the relay, which decided the meet, by a scant mar gin, the time being 1:7. The relay was a medley affair, with the first two men swimming one length apiece and the last two going two lengths. Both coaches expressed themselves as being pretty well satisfied with tho work of their re spective proteges. Officials, Scott, starter; Pahl, an nouncer; Beinhart and Widmer, timers; Foster and Webster, judges; Cooper, scorer. “Be in the Game That Is Going to BeSays Dr. A. E. Winship By Catherine Spall “ F want to be in the game that is going to be,” declared the white haired man as he looked out over the campus from the largo window in the President’s office, with his blue-gray, far-seeing eyes, earnest, intent, and serious. The simple i statement was the substitution Dr. Albert Edward Winship, educator, i editor, and lecturer, offered for a philosophy. “I’in always seeing the things that are, in relation to things as they are going to be.” Tn appearance Dr. Winship strik ingly reminds one of Olemenceau. Short in stature and inclined to be plump, he has a white mustache, a firm mouth, and a broad, intelligent j forehead. Tntriguirfg and individual ! are his buttoned bulldog-toed shoes with shiny new rubbers he wears over them—he is far-sighted when it comes to Oregon weather. “I think we are getting away from crystallized and petrified convention ality in our colleges, without running wild on individuality,” stated the ed ucator, who is cautious in committing himself. “College students always have been of two classes—tlioso that are mostly conventional, and the cranky ones that are individual. Col leges are developing more personality than ever before. “There will always be those who live in the past, with a scholarship past rather than an educational pre sent. In every institution there are those who get a social, civic, eduea (Continued on page three)
